I’m a 4, just because I’m not going to eat the cartilage off the end.  It does get a final whole-wing insertion to get the sauce off, but not the crunch stuff.

God a simple HDMI/video out would completely change my willingness to buy this.

We went to see the Brothers Ween a few years back. The first half of their set was fine, they’re really talented musicians and all, but about the halfway point the two of them went back behind the stage while the rest of the band played for 15 mins or so. When they came out they were laughing and throwing frenchfries…

It’s more like this at work today

The best excuse is the word no.

Why do people insist on forcing their friends into this stuff,

This person is not your friend.

So what you’re saying is, “with tiny whisk comes great reward.”

Every take you have on this site is consistently terrible.

“Yup, that’s why we expect motorcyclists to have seatbelts...”

Stop with the whatabout-ism.  Walkers spend SOME time on the streets, bike riders spend ALL their time on the streets.  It’s more dangerous.  I’ll agree the infrastructure isn’t the best but OP is right.  I can’t tell you how many cyclists just blow through a stop sign or red light like it doesn’t apply to them.  

Cool, we’ve moved on to attacking my credentials to refute my opinions. Just for the record, I’m a registered Traffic Engineer with the State of California, which requires separate licensure of my Civil Enigneering license with the State of California. But I digress.

It’s not about accident rates - it’s about injury and death rates.  What’s the harm in requiring helmets?  

Diatribe complete. Now shut the fuck up, Aaron.

Hey, fuck you for thinking “fuck you” is an appropriate response to someone who has an opinion that differs from yours. My sincerest condolences for having triggered you.

That’s the issue: I wish it was an exceptional situation, but it hasn’t been for a while. And it will keep happening as we (Traffic Engineers like myself, and die-hard transportation planners who abhor cars) continue to encourage active transportation as an alternative form of transportation.

So are we to take this to mean that the author is vehemently against seatbelts and motorcycle helmet laws?

How about law enforcement enforce traffic laws to cyclists? All the bike lanes in the world don’t matter if the cyclists is trying to shoot a gap through traffic during a red light (and yes, I see this rather frequently).

If a bicyclist wants to use public motorways and want to have equal footing in regards to traffic, they should follow all of the similar laws that cars and motorcyclists do. That includes helmet laws, mandatory insurance laws, and just obeying fucking stop signs, right of way, and not acting like the traffic laws…

Might be one of the most ridiculous takes I’ve seen. It doesn’t matter who is at fault if the helmet has the ability to protect you from death.
